If you want me to keep you updated with book stuff, make sure to sign up for our (unannoying!) email list. Better than hoping the Twitter algorithm shows you my announcements. https://t.co/PjsuHFT089 — PolitiTweet.org

T-minus four days until book launch! In the meantime, here’s the story behind book—what it’s about, how it came to be, and why it took so damn long. https://t.co/66IyuFmnvv — PolitiTweet.org

New deep field image from the Webb telescope. Really hard to absorb the insanity of what’s in this image. Zoom in and find a tiny faint dot somewhere. That’s a 100,000,000,000-star cosmic megalopolis, probably home to advanced civilizations. https://t.co/DS6x6xyfyl — PolitiTweet.org

I bet they had words for "decade" and "century" too because humans have a natural reason to gravitate towards base 10 (fingers). — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
People 30,000 years ago probably had words for "day," "month," and "year," but not "week"—because unlike the others, weeks are arbitrary inventions with no connection to the natural world. — PolitiTweet.org

@AJamesMcCarthy True - it's better if the visitor says "oh look a man and a boy - is that boy his son?" and the tour guide says "yes" — PolitiTweet.org

@BillyM2k But the original premise matters. If instead of Mr. Smith being seen randomly, there was a town hall meeting for the 750 families with at least one boy, then each family has a 1/3 chance of having 2 boys. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2. Do the experiment 200 times. You'd pick a blue ~100 times, and half of those times it would be from a blue/blue box. Put differently, of the 200 picks, 50 would be from BB boxes (50 blue picks), 100 from RB boxes (50B, 50R), 50 from RR boxes (50R). So the answer is 1/2. — PolitiTweet.org
